[Intro]
 
Am   Dm  Bb     C      Dm
Am   Dm  Bb     C      Dm
Am   Dm  Bb     C      Dm
Am       Dm   Bb   C
 
 
[Verse]
 
C#m                                        G#7
  What will you do when you get lonely
C#m              C          D       E    E7
  With nobody waiting by your side
F#m              B                E                      A
  You've been running and hiding much too long,
F#m                B                      E
  You know it's just your foolish pride.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am   Dm  Bb   C                   Dm
Lay--la,    you got me on my knees.
Am   Dm  Bb  C                     Dm
Lay--la,    I'm begging darling please.
Am   Dm  Bb C                        Dm
Lay--la,        darling won't you ease my 
Am       Dm   Bb   C   (Am)
 worried mind.
 
 
[Verse]
 
C#m                      G#7
  Tried to give you consolation,
C#m            C         D       E    E7
  And your old man won't let you down
F#m      B       E                 A
  Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
F#m          B                  E
  Turned the whole world upside down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am   Dm  Bb     C            Dm
Lay--la,    you got me on my knees.
Am   Dm  Bb     C               Dm
Lay--la,    I'm begging darling please.
Am   Dm  Bb     C                 Dm
Lay--la,        darling won't you ease my 
Am       Dm   Bb   C   (Am)
 worried mind.
 
 
[Verse]
 
C#m                              G#7
  Let's make the best of the situation
C#m        C       D    E    E7
  Before I fin'lly go insane.
F#m            B         E            A
  Please don't say we'll never find a way
F#m           B               E
  And tell me all my loves in vain
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am   Dm  Bb     C            Dm
Lay--la,    you got me on my knees.
Am   Dm  Bb     C               Dm
Lay--la,    I'm begging darling please.
Am   Dm  Bb     C                 Dm
Lay--la,        darling won't you ease my 
Am       Dm   Bb   C   Dm
 worried mind.
